Summary0024058: UI Beta: Fleet stance icons are too bright when activated and lit up
DescriptionWhen mousing over the various UI features, it makes sense that they light up and this looks alright for the most part. However, right now the ship stance icons which stay lit up when turned on are a bit too intense, which causes eye strain and is distracting.

This is particularly bad with the Attack Move and Pursuit Mode colors, which are a bright pink and almost have a sort of glare around them, drawing your eyes away from the selected ships text.
TagsNo tags attached.

I agree, they hurt my eyes a little bit due to how bright they are.

Yeah, they could be turned down 20% or something. Though the blue one seems fine.

I don't think the blue one is lit up. Also, this applies to some other ui features than just the ones listed here, such as mousing over metal and science makes them slightly painfully bright.

Yes, the blue trashcan/delete button in this picture is the only icon that is not in its "lit up" state.

Thanks!

* The glowing states of the following icons in the new UI has been dimmed some:
** Attack move (leftmost item), pursuit mode, stop and shoot mode, hold fire mode, scrap button. Group move has been left alone.

I still find the ship stance icons too bright - especially when compared to how they look like when left clicked. I made a picture that compares the brightness between when they are clicked and when they are active, and think that the brightness when they are clicked feels a lot better to look at - top bar is when the icons are clicked

Many other features in the UI glow irritatingly bright when hovered over (like the metal and science icons). It is avoidable and not too severe but nonetheless unpleasant, and I feel it shouldn't be so bright.

Okay, more changes:

* The selected status of the stance buttons in the bottom left of the screen have been adjusted once again in order to be dimmer and less distracting.

Personally I don't have an issue with the rest of the UI element brightness, even when selected, but that is just me.
@crawlers, you may want to open a new issue for the other UI elements.
